Abstract

The question of how to evaluate wireless packet scheduling algorithms with a comprehensive consideration of different performance metrics is investigated in this paper. By studying the intrinsic relationship between system throughput and fairness, a performance evaluation problem for packet scheduling algorithms in a wireless system is formulated. Through the use of nonlinear programming method, the performance evaluation framework for weighted-type packet scheduling algorithms can be established. The performances of some typical packet scheduling algorithms for multiuser wireless communications are also evaluated in this framework as examples. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
